Notes:
• Sound from the Main screen is output from the speakers on the
projection display set.
• In PIP mode, the Main screen signal is output from the rear
monitor output terminal.
• Because Main and PIP screens are processed by individual
circuits, image quality may vary slightly.
• PIP mode returns to single screen when the projection display is
turned off.
• The Main and PIP screens cannot display the same picture at
the same time.
• An RGB signal cannot be displayed on a PIP screen or a Main
screen.
• A component signal cannot be displayed on a PIP screen. Thus,
when a component signal is displayed on the Main screen, the
SWAP button becomes invalid.
• With the Main screen, as with a single screen, you can change
the input, change channels, and adjust the volume.

The high-pressure lamp could explode if not properly handled and lamp fragments could cause injury.
Important Points to keep in mind
When replacing the lamp unit with a new one, pay attention to the following points.
Warning:
• Because the temperature of the lamp unit is elevated immediately after its use, directly touching it may cause
burns. Please allow the lamp to cool before handling or replacing the lamp unit.
Cautions for Lamp Unit Replacement:
• Handle the removed old lamp unit carefully. If handled improperly, it may have a risk of explosion.

returned.
